Regarding the messy charge. IMO it's a bit of a clown show. Too many people. Too many "chiefs".

I thought the latter even before reading the narration. Six blokes. As the b0narrativecsays dogman and co went off early without being asked. Then were in the way. Perhaps one of them got tossed.

The man to the left shoots very dangerously right when the man is on top of the buffalo, or being tossed. Risks shooting the guy. The man in front of the camera shoots when the tossed man is behind the buffalo.

The tossed guy is luckily to have only maybe a branch puncture wound in the thigh, not a leaking bullet hole or big horn hooked wound.

The tossed guy has a story to tell the rest of his life.
